By Our Reporter The Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) working with police in Mombasa apprehended a woman in Malaba who has routinely defied court orders to share custody of a minor with his father in line with court ruling on the matter four months ago. The woman who doubles up as the minors mother as well as a litigant in a child custody case with her former lover was granted the child by a Mombasa High Court to share his custody equally with the father but vanished with the child, prompting a court sanctioned search for her that took four months.

In mid April, a Mombasa High Court Justice John Onyiego appended a penal notice to parents who had been awarded shared custody that any party that fails to comply would be liable for a fine or imprisonment for a period not exceeding ...
